Importing 2007 library into 2008

Post by syrupcore »

I dunno if this'll help anyone but just in case...

I uninstalled 2007 before installing the RC. I had a back up of my settings folder. When I restored my settings folder, most things worked fine but 2008 wouldn't load my snippets file. I checked out the old and new library.xml file and saw that the <callword /> tag had been added to the xml.

To fix it, I loaded up my back up and did a find and replace. I searched for

Code: Select all

<Snippet>
and replaced it with

Code: Select all

<Snippet><CallWord></CallWord>
Restarted the program and all was imported. I don't know if this will work for other people. Try it first on a backup of your backup.
